  • 100Th Issue.Pub
    THESTOURTONCAUNDLER 100TH ISSUE SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT Happy Birthday to The stourton Caundler It’s good to see the magazine going from strength to strength as it reaches the eleventh year of its production. To celebrate, Tim Villiers asked a mix of former editors and stalwart contributors to write a special set of articles that look back over the ten years of the magazine’s existence and summarise, thematically, a few of the many topics it has covered. But how did The stourton caundler start? Former villager and founder member of the magazine committee, Michael Place, writes: “It was felt some years ago that there was little or no cohesion or communication between the village clubs and associations that existed at that time. Lots of individual mail shots and posters went up in the village for all the groups, The Trooper and the Church but it was a well- intentioned "scattergun" approach where sometimes fundraising took place for multiple projects at the same time. The late Tony Bond felt that it would be a good idea to call a meeting of all groups to co-ordinate the organisation of the annual Strawberry Fayre. This was the start of the Village Events Committee. It was agreed that the funds the Committee raised would go to projects requested by the village and Tony very generously gave a sum of money to start such a fund. Tony was also concerned that villagers lacked sufficient information about what was going on, so their potential support and use of their talents was being lost. It was agreed that a regular village newsletter would be very helpful in bringing the community together and a request was made for someone to start the ball rolling.

    Ibberton Village in the Year 2000 BY THE VILLAGE FOR THE VILLAGE THE VILLAGE VIEWED FROM THE CHURCH This is a record of the village of Ibberton in the Year 2000 told by the people who live here. Villagers’ accounts of their lifestyle provide a snapshot in time and comparisons are briefly drawn with bygone days. Ordinary annual events and activities provide a perspective on community life. There are also reports on the special projects and events that contributed to the Millennium Year Celebrations. ABRISTENTONA TO IBBERTON One thousand years ago the Doomsday Book records the Saxon name of our settlement as Abristentona, and over the years the name gradually developed into Ibberton. The village nestles in the lee of Bulbarrow Hill and evolved according to prevailing circumstances. In the early days lack of understanding about the techniques of land clearance and drainage resulted in the dwellings and cultivated land being sited on the lower chalk slopes and green sand immedi- ately around and below the church where numerous springs provided water. Evidence of the early settlement is found in the terraced slopes on the hillside above Manor House Farm. A knowledge of drainage and land clearance enabled the community to develop the lower ground where the major part of the village is now sited. The village has had many owners, the most historically famous was probably Henry VIII’s wife Catherine Howard, although there is no evidence that she ever resided at the Manor House. In the nineteen seventies the last large landowner, the Pitt Rivers family, sold off much of the land and houses into private ownership, but prior to that the farms and cottages would have been leased from the Estate.
